World of Flowers: A Colouring Book and Floral Adventure | Johanna Basford
10 posts | 3 to read
Show your colours. Join 'colourist queen' Johanna Basford on a floral adventure around the world and beyond, into the realms of fantasy and imagination. This sensational new colouring book is filled with countless new blooms and blossoms ready for you to discover and bring to life in colour. An abundance of fascinating florals awaits, including ... Dainty ballerina-esque Fuchsias, Bleeding Heart Orchids, Swirls of Osteospermums, Oriental Poppies, Fabulous Persian Poppies, Mexican Passion Fruit Flowers, Vibrant pinwheels of Phlox Peppermint Twist, Helleborus, Roses and Ranunculus, Bumblee-bee Primroses, Giant Pink Lotus Blossoms from the lily ponds of India, Curtains of exotic Jade Vine, Snowdonia Hawkweed, Rafflesia Arnoldii from the rainforests of Indonesia, Rothschild's Slipper Orchid from Northern Borneo, Mexican Chocolate Cosmos - which apparently smell as good as they look!, The spectacular nocturnal Kadupul flower which only blooms at night, and more! Johanna has picked a crisp ivory paper that accentuates and compliments your chosen colour palette. The smooth, untextured pages allows for beautiful blending or gradient techniques with coloured pencils, or are perfect for pens, allowing the nib to glide evenly over the surface without feathering.

This is the last picture I took of our beloved #MiaCat on his last day, doing what he liked best: being a nosy neighbor. We had to put him to sleep because we found out he was in end-stage kidney failure. It‘s been over a week and I still miss him curled up in my lap. It‘s taken that long to have the energy to post about it. He was 15 and our firstborn. 💜

Lindy Deepest condolences. ❤️ 4y

reluctantangeleno Awww, I lost my "first born" a few months ago. It's especially hard to lose your first baby. Sending lots of love your way and I hope the happy memories outweigh the sadness soon. XO 4y
BookDragonNotWorm I lost my first born last year to a brain tumor and I didn't think I'd ever be able to smile again. Now I smile whenever I think of her and her brother's become unbelievably spoiled (which she wouldn't have allowed). Here's to sweet memories and all of those we've loved and lost. Sending hugs your way. 4y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads What do you use for your coloring? 5y
BookishMarginalia @Joyfulmimi It depends on my mood. Mostly markers, sometimes pencils or gel pens — I love glitter and metallic gel pens! (edited) 5y
DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks @BookishMagnolia! What kind of markers? Sharpie? Don‘t the gel pens run out fast though? Your coloring is so beautiful. 5y

Settling down for some coloring on this overcast Sunday afternoon

Kayla.Adriena Holy cow you have a ton of Litfluence! 5y
BookishMarginalia Thanks! #HurricaneMaria and a move to Florida knocked me off my stride for over a year, but I used to run quarterly bookish exchanges and post multiple times a day... I‘m trying to get back into the swing of Litsy again. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼@Kayla.Adriena 5y
Crazeedi I love my coloring books! This one looks awesome! (edited) 5y

kspenmoll It‘s wonderful to see you able to post more again! Missed you! 5y
BookishMarginalia @kspenmoll Thanks! Missed you too! My recovery from María has been longer and tougher than I expected ? 5y
BookishMarginalia @Crazeedi It‘s a lovely book — thick pages and just enough detail. And who can resist flowers? 5y
Avanders Glad to see you back! Everyone's asking about #ssgp this year bc those quarterly swaps were favorites! 😉 Hope you're able to find peace and relaxation coming off of Maria and all the terribleness it was 🤗🤗 5y
BookishMarginalia @Avanders I‘m thinking of starting up again with Valentine‘s exchange. What do you think? 5y
Avanders @BookishMarginalia I think that would be amazing and everyone would be so happy to have the "Goes Postal" swaps back in action ??? But I also say, take care of yourself! Only do it if you have the time/energy and the mental space. ?? 5y
